As the game continues to improve, there are a few edits to questions and answers that didn’t make the cut before production! As readers continue to research and challenge answers (which I love - debate is a part of trivia games!), updates to wording and answers will be provided here!

    • During a demonstration, there was discussion over whether Harry qualifies as an answer. As the game maker, I don’t see how stating Harry in the question, disqualifies Harry from being an answer, however to oblige, here is how I will rewrite the question

    • Name 3 students who actually fly on their broomsticks during (or slightly after) the 1st year flying lesson at Hogwarts

    • Correction - Answer 3: Alecto Carrow is NOT a correct answer.

    • There is already a Level 1 Question that asks - Name 2 professors that teach Potions while Harry is at Hogwarts. That is the correct question, as there is no 3rd Potions teacher that we learn of from the 7 books. Therefore this Level 3 card should be thrown out! This is my biggest mistake thus far. Apologies. We’ll do better next time.

  • This question needs an update to also exclude Mandrakes. A mandrake is indeed a “creature” as a user (my dear sister) pointed out to me; but I also think it’s more of a weapon than a sentient being that chose to fight in the battle. Updated question will say: Name 7 types of sentient creatures that fight in the Battle of Hogwarts (on either side of the battle) (Poltergeists, ghosts, mandrakes and snakes are not included)

  • Multiple people have brought to my attention Book 7 chapter 4, The 7 Potters, where Voldemort starts the Killing Curse, but is then interrupted by Harry’s wand acting of his own accord. Because the spell is not completed, I do not believe this qualifies as an answer, however the wording on the question is vague in it’s current state. The updated question will read: Name or describe 5 occasions where Voldemort directs (and completes) the Killing Curse at Harry Potter (not including his failed attempt during the escape of the 7 Potters)

  • Missing Answer: Seamus and Lavender (4, 22)
    In updated version this will read: Name 10 student couples…

    • Missing Answer: Inferi (6, 21)
      In updated version this will read: Name 18 subjects, creatures, tasks and stories…

    • Correction - Answer  10: Ernie Macmillan -5 “For contradicting me” (Snape)  - The answer is correct, but Draco Malfoy takes these points away, not Snape. A small correction, but a correction nonetheless.

  • This should read name 24 foods. Missing items include

    • New kind of Fudge (3, 8)

    • Creamy chunks of Nougat (3, 10)

    • Shimmering pink squares of coconut ice (3, 10)

    • Hundreds of different kinds of chocolates in neat rows (including Lupin and Hagrid gifted chocolate to Harry and Ron) (3, 10)

    • Jelly Slugs (3, 10)

    • Acid Pops (3, 10)

    • Sugar Spun Quill should be replaced with Deluxe Sugar Spun Quill (6, 12)

    • Crystalized Pineapple (6, 12)

    This is my greatest failure to date. Please contact me if you would like a refund on your game. I’ll probably say no, but maybe you’ll catch in a moment of deep self-loathing.

  • After review, these items need to be added and the question should read “Name 12…” and consequently be a Level 7
    9. (Flying) Carpet (4, 7) I had this in my original notes, but removed it for some reason

    10. Hippogriff (3,6) After playing Hogwarts Legacy, there’s no way to keep this off (despite this being book only).

    11. Palomino Horse Drawn Carriages (4, 15)

    12. Magical boat that works as submarine (4, 15)

    Both of the above - are they standard? We only see them used once. But they are being used by large, well funded, internationally renowned Schools. So maybe I need to change the word standard, but surely these should count.

    Also number 1 should read “Magically Enhanced muggle car or motorcycle” as both Trains and Buses, and now boats are muggle vehicles, but count as separate answers.

  • I have the opening to the newspaper reading that occurs in the final chapter of book 5, but I missed the subsequent description of other articles. So this question should read: “Name 29…”
    26. You-Know-Who’s Last Attempt to Take Over

    27. What the Ministry Should Have Told Us

    28. Why Nobody Listened to Albus Dumbledore

    29. Exclusive Interview with Harry Potter
